"Rebirth without Dying" - by Jessica Vilches
/The winds of change blew,
earthquakes shook my foundation.
Tsunamis engulfed me,
and in each wave, I surrendered.
Every lightning bolt I received with trust,
and thus, all was revealed.
I felt like I was dying…
and indeed, I died—
to all my learned versions.
In each death, I realized:
“death doesn’t exist”.
The hum of the inner fire
calls me back—
to the place I never left.
Dwelling from another space,
discovering in the world
the reflections of my own inner landscapes.
Coiling,
being reborn without having died.
Back to where I never left,
as a spectator,
a witness to my own creations.
Playing,
from the place I have never departed.
